CVE-2023-52226Network attack vector

Unauthorized actions via missing nonce validation

Published Feb 28, 2024 · Updated Apr 28, 2026

CSRF in Advanced Flamingo 1.0 and earlier allows remote attackers to trigger unauthorized actions through forged requests. The plugin omits or incorrectly performs WordPress nonce validation before accepting a privileged action, causing a forged request to execute in an administrator's authenticated session. Exploitation requires an unauthenticated remote attacker to induce a site administrator to click a link; public records do not identify the specific action or endpoint.
